The name Marilyn Michaels is slowly but surely taking its place among the list, of top singers of the decade, Thank goodness she decided to be- come just a singer, More acts like those so-called imperson- ations that Ed Sullivan raved about last week and she could find her career ended before it begins. Her voice was fine enough but her mannerisms were much too extreme and in some cases, an insult to the stars involved. Had Garland acted and sounded like that, she would not have made it to the top, Michaels should do half as well! Why do these impersonators who could do well by merely sounding like stars, exaggerate the personal little idiosyncra- sies they possess? It takesmuch more talent to impersonate the voices, but Michaels was get- ting so carried away with ac- tions, that she forgot how hor- rible her singing was sounding and how ridiculous she appear- ed to the public who are avid fans of her victims. She has a fabulous voice when she con- centrates on being Marilyn Michaels, and her records are going to sell like hotcakes when people realize how great she y'v.1 11 11 s - CLEARANCE PRICED SAVE $10 to $20 on MEN'S SUITS OR EXTRA PANTS FREE ��441G�y $ 3999 to $ 649 ENTIRE SELECTION REDUCED Save $5 to $l0 on Men's Sport Coats VALUES UP TO $45 MEN'S SHORT SLEEVE T-SHIRTS Values to 57.95 99c to '4.99 MEN'S SWIM TRUNKS Values to $5.95 21,99 UP SALE PRICED FROM $14.99 UP MEN'S DRESS STRAW HATS Values to $5.00 '2.49 UP BOYS' WALKING SHORTS Values to $3,95 1.99 UP BOYS' SWIM .SUITS Values�to 52.95 ! 9c UP MEN'S SUMMER SLACKS Cottons, Terylene and Cotton, Terylene and Wool.

Streisand is the biggest name in pop music now, Mi- chaels could be the next great voice if she uses her talent wisely. A young whipper- snapper by the name of Lisa Minnelll is also possessor of an earth -shattering voice. But that's no surprise; she's the Great Garland's daughter! 0--0--0 I am tremendously proud of Canadian -born Art Linkletter and the mark he has made on the world of show business. But he belongs with kids, where he really shines, and not on a ta- lent show like "Hollywood Ta- lent Scouts". He took the reins that Jim Backus once held; Backus was a guest on last weeks hour, and they swapped jokes, Backus was nothing to write home about either. On a show such as this, where each week new talent is brought to the attention of the public, it is important that the emcee arouse the interest and enthusiasm of the viewers. Linkletter never gets excited about anything or anybody. He may as well be introducing Her- man Gloop playing "Chop- sticks" on the zither! His intro- ductions generate that much excitement! Despite the presence of 'old drag Art' the series is a fasci- nating one, not only because of the new talent present, but for the peek we receive of great stars who aren't seen on the TV screen too often as themselves, Connie Stevens was a real doll last week; and it's always nice to see Raymond 'Perry Mason' Burr out of the courtroom. The new talent is a perfect example of variety. It ranges through fabulous, good, medi- ocre and lousy (Yvonne DeCar- lo's so-called Canadian comic can leave on the next kayak for Siberia; if he has a beef about this fair land of ours which he has joyously and willingly left, he need not air it on national television 1). The series is a Godsend for these young kids, who would probably never be recognized nor discovered in dingy, smoky lounges. And it's heartwarm- ing to see the guest celebrities rooting for their finds and anx- ious to see them make -good. 0--0--0 More than 100 young musi- cians between the ages of 14 and 24, are hard at work these weeks in Toronto, rehearsing for the "Short Sweet Summer of Music" that will begin later this month. The kids come from all parts of Canada, and when they get together, they become The National Youth Orchestra and the pride of clas- sical music lovers. The orchestra was organized in 1960 by Walter Susskind, who was then conductor of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Their conductor this year is Franz -Paul Decker; Mr. Sus- skind will be director ofmusic. After their month of rehearsals, they will open July 29 at the O'Keefe Centre, then will be- gin a two -weeks' tour of Can- adian cities. They will play in Stratford on August 1st, and in Peterborough on August 2nd, then will move out across the Prairies and on to Vancouver where they will perforin in their last show on August loth. If you have not experienced the thrill of hearing these kids play, make ari effort to attend one of their shows in person. You will be amazed at their marvellous talent and dedica- tion and you will come home with an answer for the wise- crackers who wonder what this 'younger generation' is coming to! Members who say they're too busy to attend meetings are like the man who was so busy chop- ping wood he never had rime to sharpen his axe.

Witherden your telephone manager Telephone by Candlelight Talking with a young friend of mine not too long ago, I was asked how it is that during a power failure the telephone continues to work. The lad was excited and pleased one day when all the lights went out in his neighbourhood, and wanted to share his glee with another Iad across town. But he was frustrated because he thought the telephone wouldn't work either, However, on picking up the phone, he was amazed to find that it DID work. This led him to assume that the telephone company has a separate power supply. Well, we do, and we don't! Like everyone else, we de- pend on commercial power, and commercial power keeps your telephone working day in, day out, just as it does your lights. But tel: phone service is vital, and so all our exchanges—including Wingham of course—have standby power sources in case of emergency. The instant our equipment idetects a power failure, it switches onto reserve battery power that can keep the exchange operating for many hours. And diesel -driven emergency generators are kept in readiness at strategic points throughout our terri- tory to be brought in immediately to keep any exchange operating indefinitely. Power failures are very infrequent these days, but severe storms, construction accidents, etc., eal. and do cause disruptions every once in a While, Though these are usually short -lived --thanks to the diligence and public spirit of the power commission employees—it is still re- assuring (and sometimes even romantic) to be able to "telephone by candlelight" Those Cranky Good Old Days Some people like to reminisce about the "good old days" and how much better things were then. I wonder if they remember how much cranking it took to get those good old days started! You cranked the car, the clothes wringer, the gramophone .. , and the telephone. And they tell me that after you placed a Long Distance calf, you had to wait an average of nearly eight minutes before you got your party. Today, of course, it's flick a switch here, press a button there — a sort of "instant action" way of doing things. And as far as Long Distance goes, you can tele- phone all the way to the Atlantic or Pacific coasts, have a nice little chat, and then be off the phone in less time than it would have taken you to get started away back when. And for five or six times less the cost in those days! Could it be that the "good old days" required so much cranking and waiting on the line, etc., that people just didn't have the time they take today to think of •how "had" things are????
